Windows 10: How can I block the Microsoft News Feed?

Every time (a) I click on my outlook.com tab and also (b) when I leave the MS Community, I get the blasted Microsoft News Feed.


I don't want it and I can't stand it - it's full of nonsense as far as I'm concerned. It also interferes with my use of MY laptop.

Every time it appears, I have to go through the rigmarole of hiding it but it still appears the next time.


I've set my outlook.com mail to be my home page but it overrides that too.


How can I block it?


PS I used to have a similar problem with MSN News appearing every time I shut down my laptop. Thank goodness that's stopped - it often was the source of a scam, or a virus.

Edge browser no longer displays the news feed

I am replying to the above advice. Been there, done that. In fact, I did that set of steps before I ever asked for help here. Does anyone have any other suggestions? It is very inconvenient to have no taskbar.

Thank you.

Hi Charles,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the steps below on how to Customize News Feed in Microsoft Edge Browser and check if this helps:

• Open Microsoft Edge Browser and click “Customise” (above top sites on the right side).
• Select Top sites and my news feed, select your language and choose your favorite topics.
• After selecting your favorite topics, now click Save. That’s it. Now you can see your favorite news on Microsoft Edge home.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
